How does one make Andriod applications in Flash? Are there any specific requirements, or things that the application/game has to support? In other words, how is an Andriod flash application different from a flash application on the computer? Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, the process of creating Flash content for an Android phone doesn't differ much from what you're used to. It's pretty much the same, except that you would have to take certain considerations, such as the smaller screen size, processing capabilities and the fact that the user interaction will be based around touching, tilting, etc (all of which AS3 supports).
Then you'd just have to go an extra step and use
the Adobe AIR runtime if you want to compile it as a stand alone app to be installed on the Android, unless you want the Flash to be played from a website.

Here is a handy dandy tutorial on how to use Adobe AIR and other useful tools to develop Flash apps for Android.

Adobe AIR is awesome, you can now make lesser changes to already developed game and publish it for Android, iOS, tablets, etc. as opposed to rewriting the same game in Java, Objective C, C++, etc. It cuts development in half or more.
